Case Study: Lessons learned hosting a large, global Cloud Foundry deployments
summary
Bluemix runs the world's largest public Cloud Foundry deployment across Dallas and London, onboarding 8,000 users a week and ranking high in community code contributions. Architecture combines Cloud Foundry, VMs and containers plus an ecosystem of single operations console and cloud foundational services (monitoring, logging, config, DBs) to support public, dedicated and on‑prem patterns. Lessons: portability, secure logging and credential rotation, org‑specific buildpacks, and richer service lifecycle and SLA management are needed to make hybrid, brownfield-to-cloud migrations reliable at scale.
